HE conviction and sentence of boodler
Jake Sharp is cause for genuine congratu-
iation among the people. When venality
such as his backed by wealth and influ-
ence, Is unable to escape the penalties of
the law, there Is given the assurance that
the laws are still inspired with vitality,
and that moneyed rascality cannot always
escape its deserts We do not recall a
cooler or more nonchalant exhibition of
| lmpudence than that of Jake Sharp's
when he came into Court and pleaded for
release from the laws rigor because he is
aged and in ill-health. He sat there coolly
putting up that plea with S1,00000O of
stolen money in his pockets and refusing
to make restitution of IA solitary cent. We
can well understand the indignation
OF the Court in its reply to the
appeal Tor mercy. To be merciful
to man who made it his business to cor
rupt Legislators and bride officials to DEFY
the laws and stop their channels by the
most infamous use of money and place.
would have been absolute cruelty to the
men who observe the laws and endeavor to
do their duty to society. 1t would be poor
encouragement to men who seek to bring
venality to light and punishment, to pro-
mote honest and fair dealing in public life.
and to preserve American institutions from
corruption, to be lenient to such consci-
enceless rascals as Jake Sharp If he is a
sick man, he can have good medical at
tendance and die comfortably in Sing Sing.
If his age is worthy of consideration in
the matter, he can reflect upon the evil
deeds with which he has furnished it. as
well in Sing Sing as in the home he has
luxuriously furnished from his ill-gotten
gains.

The Boston fire underwriters examined it.
"It the Herald or any book chemist
would like to deposit 81 900 against

TARIFF AND THE FARMER.



Editor Gdsette: One of the endorsers
OF the tariff league writes: Agriculture
is benefited as much, or more than
any other industry by protection, and yet
the farmer is daily taught, by the untir-
ing free trader, that he is robbed by such
taxation to support the rich mnnufac-
turer." II is hard to hear such stuff as
that, and not give the farmer, (who does
the work while the other fellow schemes)
o pointer There is no question but what
protection protects. But allow the sun
firing free trader" as he is dubbed, to
show the farmer how he may get some of
the cream of protection.
Let the farmers form q protective
league, and then let them send men to
Congress who will put tariff of say 25
per cent on grain. You will then find
Mr.. Farmer with his bank account i'm.
proved just 25 per cent ut the end Of the
year. Now, were the results of such an
internal and internal scheme to fall only
on the heads of political tricksters, and
those monopolistic manufacturers that
have been and still are protected until
their itching palms have made them in
sensible TO unbiased judgment, such
scheme would he we'll. But ut the same
time the msmmon gods were compelled to
pay rs per cent more for their breAdst uffs
every poor consumer would find himself
in the same boat.
'Tis true that many in the most strait
ened circumstances are extravagant and
needless but it is human nature to ape
those above us, and the example is set in
the most striking degree, by those very
men Mho want to be protected and nursed
hp the arm of the ooyarnmapf
This country is old enough to compete
with any narion in the goods for which
the climate and soil are adapted, and we
would be better off if every article open
to mans use were free from taxation,
(unless it be some article with which he
menaces the government). Absolute free
trade would bring great wealth into this
country; and, although am free trader
to the death, should hate to see that
line of policy adopted until there are more
patriotic men running the governmental
machinery. For, under the present cor
rupt system Of legislation, the principle
part of the new volume of wealth that
would flow into the country under free
trade would food the ot ffers of the
scheming drones.
By putting 25 per cent tariff on bread
stuffs or food products, all the consumers
in the United States would have to pay
one-fifth more for all articles of food that
come from the soil. The farmer would
be great gamer, as what he then con-
sumes he would get at first and lowest
cost, and he would have the selling price
of his products raised one-ffth. OF
course it would likely prevent foreign
market for grain, but on peaches and
perishables he would always have what
he sponged off of Uncle Sam.
1t is difficult for the average mind to
understand that tariff means decree 6y
government, protecting one class of men
against another class, or 0'ss nation against
another nation. In the case above cited
it would compel all residents of this
county to pay tribute to the farmers.

Delaware City ana manufacturers.

Editor Gazette g Journal: Delaware City's
correspondent of the Middletown Tran
script In this weeks issue says that Della
ware City folks do not believe Ia walled
cities or towns and thatthey are very much
interested in Representative Mulligan's bill
exempting manufacturers, who may locate
here, from taxation for number Of years.
The writer is very sorry indeed to be
compelled to say that such Is not the
case. Our property and land owners have
always turned cold shoulder to capitalists
who wished to locate here and asked fabu-
lous sums for their lands, thinking prob
ably they were blocks on Chest
nut street, Philadelphia, or Broad
way, New York. Generally land owners
In small towns will give land to
manufacturers wishing to locate, and
thereby increase the value Of their property.
What manufacturer would locate here
when taxes. city and county combined, are
"a on the hundred which is more than any
city OF Its sizes In the state or In fact more
than Wilmington which has water-works,
steam flre-engines, electric lights, &c.
II is hoped, however. that Mr.. Mulligan's
bill Will DO passed, and then let our citizens
and land. owners offer liberal Inducements
to manufacturers to come and locate here.
Then Delaware City may be raised from the
ruin, and not before. NJ.
